gotta wish him well. i can't blame him one bit for wanting a bigger role. especially not wanting to get locked into a 10 year deal as a third banana. i hope he does well in carolina. he will be missed by most

Didn't want to see him go, but he pretty much forced Pittsburgh hand. I expect him to become a much better player overall in Carolina without being stuck behind Crosby and Malkin. I just don't think he's going to be playing a lot of April-May-June hockey.

By forcing Pittsburgh to trade him, they now can have a bit of money freed up to change their approach a lil bit.

Hate to see jordan go but the pens did offer him a 10 year deal. He wanted to play elsewhere. I'm shocked it happened so soon. Oh well thanks for everything jordan wish you well in carolina. Make the caps life miserable!

I concur with the sentiment about one more nhl coming back but i'm so shero has something else up his sleeve.

Can we edit this title to include "appreciation thread" - Jordan was a great player for us, a powerful force, a player that made this team as an 18 year old, a playoff warrior, he turned the tide of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals...there might not be a June 12, 2009 without him. He stuck it out in the shadow of a shadow and was a trooper all the way through and was one of our best players in the last playoffs. Terrific player, terrific person and he will very, very, very sorely be missed by me - he's a player I appreciated from day one. This is a guy that toally gets the game and has for some time.

I wish him all the best in Carolina and I hope he has a long, illustrious career there.
